How ary person in favor Of law. order
and temperance can vote the consolidated
beer -whiskey- Democratic ticket is a con-
undrum not easily sOlved.-HsTdld.
The Herald has certainly got on TO the
wrong ticket. One of the candidates on the
Republican county .icket kept hotel until ,
short time ago when he rented his house
and transferred his tavern license another
1f their candidates, not long since nearly
ended his career in a~frendIy Shakesperean
performance in a bar-room. Neither OF the ,
gentlemen are any better or worse for their ,
occupation or surroundings, but what we
!se to remark Is this: That thu editor or
he Herald ought to either hoist the Prohibi-
ion ticket or dry up on the whiskey and
beer question. But then the 3. o. p. is In
avor OF both.
